Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday announced 8% hike in the salary of 1.19 lakh employees (level 1, 2, and 3 categories) hired on contract through the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRNL).
The decision will come to effect from July 1. There are 71,012 employees (level 1), 26,915 (in level 2) and 21,934 in level 3 and appointed under the deployment of contractual policy.
The CM made this announcement during a meeting with various labour unions and HKRNL employees, accompanied by Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh.
He said reservation benefits have been given to Scheduled Caste and Backward Class youth among the employees hired under the Nigam.
